Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.myapp.com, exp.host, fcm.googleapis.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for implementing and troubleshooting push notifications in mobile applications. It covers common platforms including iOS (APNS), Android (FCM), React Native, Expo, and Flutter. The skill offers platform-specific configuration advice, token management strategies, message handling techniques, and guidance on deep linking patterns to improve notification delivery and user engagement.

When to use it

  • When designing the push notification strategy for a new mobile application.
  • To troubleshoot issues with existing push notifications across different platforms (iOS, Android, React Native, Expo, Flutter).
  • To optimize the timing of permission requests for improved acceptance rates.
  • To determine whether to use visible or silent notification payloads based on the intended purpose.

Key capabilities

  • Provides platform-specific configuration guidance for iOS (APNS), Android (FCM), React Native, Expo, and Flutter.
  • Offers advice on token management best practices.
  • Explains message handling techniques and deep linking patterns.
  • Includes a decision tree to guide the timing of permission requests based on acceptance rate goals.
  • Provides guidance on choosing between visible (notification payload) and silent (data-only payload) notification types.

Example prompts

  • "What's the best time to request notification permissions in an iOS app?"
  • "How do I handle push notifications in a React Native application?"
  • "Explain the difference between a visible and silent push notification."
  • "I am building an Android app, what is FCM?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Consider requesting notification permission after explaining the value proposition to users for higher acceptance rates.
  • Understand the distinction between visible (for alerts) and silent (for background data sync) notifications to optimize payload usage.
  • The skill provides guidance across various platforms, but specific implementation details may vary depending on your project's setup.
